Key Question

Did Norwegian gas flows to Germany drop at Dornum in August 2026?

Background

Dornum is a German entry point on the NETRA pipeline system, receiving gas produced on the Norwegian Continental Shelf into the German network. On 3 August 2026, flow at Dornum was reported at 89.20 GWh per day, down from a 700 to 721 GWh per day range across the four preceding days. Every reading in that window is flagged provisional by ENTSOG, so the drop is not yet a confirmed supply interruption; it remains an open watch item pending settled data. Dornum's ordinary role is as one of several German entry points carrying Norwegian gas into the domestic network.
